Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your privacy. You have chosen to participate with us, and we recognize our obligation to keep the information you provide secure and to inform you of our policies concerning its use. You can be sure that our commitment to protect your information will continue under the principles and online guidelines described below.
(The term “site” or “website” as used in this Privacy Policy includes all versions of internet pages accessed via an electronic device.)
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We encourage you to periodically check this site and review the most recent version of the Privacy Policy. By continuing to provide us with information or use our site after any changes are made, you accept such changes to the Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with any YWAM Mazatlan website, please email development@ywammazatlan.com.
What information do we collect and when do we collect it?
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data may tell us the type of computer and browsing software that you use, information about your electronic handheld device, physical location and the address of the website from which you linked to our website. We may use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our website, how visitors navigate throughout the website, site performance and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information is primarily used to improve our website. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and will not contain any personal information. We track this activity using a service provided by Google Analytics. You should refer to Google Analytics’ privacy policy to learn specifically how they collect and use information. You can find Google’s privacy policy at: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
In certain areas of our website or landing pages, such as when you request more information, you are required to enter personal contact information (name, company, email address, phone number) that allows us to contact you to provide information regarding our programs. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse our website.
What about “cookies”?
To provide better content and a more effective website, we sometimes use “cookies” as part of our interaction with your browser. A “cookie” is a small text file placed on your computer’s hard drive by our web page server. “Cookies” are commonly used on websites and do not harm your system. By configuring your preferences or options in your browser, you determine if and how a “cookie” will be accepted. These “cookies” do not collect personally identifiable information, and we do not combine information collected through “cookies” with other personal information to determine who you are or your email address.
We may use third party advertising companies to serve ads such as Google Adwords & Facebook Ads with remarketing features to show our ads on sites across the Internet. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness as well as to serve ads based on previous visits to our website. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.
Additionally, you can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads.
How does YWAM Mazatlan protect participant information?
We use industry-standard technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data to help ensure its security. Our sites have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Our servers are backed up regularly and protected by security systems.
While we use industry-standard technologies and measures to protect any data you provide to us, nothing can completely guarantee the security of transmission of data or information over the Internet. Therefore, we cannot guarantee against the loss, misuse or alteration of data or personal information that you provide to us, and we are not responsible and disclaim any liability for any damages or injuries, which arise from such loss, misuse or alteration. You provide data and information to us at your own risk.
Will YWAM Mazatlan disclose the information it collects to outside parties?
The contact information we collect, including through our websites, email communications with you or when you place a call to us, is only used to improve the content of our website and to contact prospective program participants. For example, based on the information you provide or that we collect, we decide to inform you of different YWAM Mazatlan programs and happenings. YWAM Mazatlan does not sell any data to outside parties. If you do not wish to receive any contact from us, simply let us know by emailing info@ywammazatlan.com, or unsubscribe from our email list.
Links
We may create links to other websites. We will make a reasonable effort to link only to sites that meet similar standards for maintaining each individual’s right to privacy. However, many other sites that are not associated or authorized by us may have links leading to our site. We cannot control these links and are not responsible for any content appearing on these sites. It is your responsibility to thoroughly read the terms of use, privacy policies and any other policies that apply to any website that you visit on the Internet.
